2. Me too, but in my case, the train was passing through Charlottesville, Virginia.

It came through after dark. There was a C&O passenger train that ran ahead of it.

3. I remember it, but I wasn't paying very close attention.

My father died three days later.

4. And the republican party's soul died with him.

Enter Richard Nixon.
Fast forward, Trump.
